Zim Warriors rise in Fifa rankings but....

Despite having been inactive duringthe period under review, Zimbabwe's senior national soccer side the Warriors, have climbed two places to now sit on 104 on the latest Fifa rankings released on Wednesday.

Zimbabwe plummeted to 106 following a surprise 1-2 defeat away to Burundi on 28 February in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Burundi in Bujumbura.

Climbing up amere two places will not be much of great news to the proud and talented but under-achieving Warriors.

Zimbabwe do not have any planned friendly matches as ZIFA's attention and possibly the mearger resources available appear to be channeled towards the Ethics Committee's task of finalising the match-fixing allegations against the more than 100 players, officials and even referees.

In June, Zimbabwe face three crucial qualifiers, two in the Brazil 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Guinea on the weekend of 3-5 June before engaging Mozambique away on 8 June.

Thereafter, the Warriors are set to engage Burundi in the return leg in Harare on 15 June.

i think its high time for zifa for them to make sure that all suspended players are cleared before those matches, if not ican see us failing to pass even burundi tie.
